RE: Bore wear, engine wear. - andrew34ruby - 24-09-2021 [quote="Chris KC" pid="72535" dateline="1632388912"] [quote pid="72532" dateline="1632386898"] [quote pid="72528" dateline="1632380725"] When you do drive, wait till the engine is properly warm before attempting any heroics. Thanks for all the replies. Think I will use it for maybe 20 miles once a month through the winter. And leave the fanbelt off, it's been off for more than a year. But I'm a bit stumped with the idea of no heroics till it's warmed up. From cold I have a choice of two 3rd gear hills, or two directions with seven speed humps each way, or the main A road travelling above 60 mph.

In winter his technique was identical; start the car and give it full revs in neutral for a good five or six minutes - it really was painful to listen to. Surprisingly, this 1950s Rover survived this treatment for at least five years - and goodness knows how long he'd been performing ths ritual before I moved in.(22-09-2021, 11:49 PM)andrew34ruby Wrote:(22-09-2021, 09:38 PM)Chris Wrote: There's a guy up the road who keeps a very expensive car in a lock-up next to my house, he's been through a string of different marques. Never drives them anywhere as far as I can tell, but diligently comes down every week or two, starts the engine and revs it in his garage for 5 minutes (presumably on full choke). Some day I will explain to him not only how irritating he is, but how much damage he is doing to his car; but he doesn't strike me as the listening type.
